No Spanish Civil War in 1936 is an Alternate History ongoing timeline being published in Alternate History Dot Com. It is Exactly What It Says on the Tin: a world where the coup that led to the civil war in Spain in July 1936 in our world never happened. While the earliest installments are focused in the alternate Spanish Republic that develops without a fratricide war, once World War Two starts the focus changes to a more global scope to explore the effects a democratic Spain fighting in the Allied side could have had.

  • No Spanish Civil War in 1936 is an Alternate History ongoing timeline being published in Alternate History Dot Com. It is Exactly What It Says on the Tin: a world where the coup that led to the civil war in Spain in July 1936 in our world never happened. While the earliest installments are focused in the alternate Spanish Republic that develops without a fratricide war, once World War Two starts the focus changes to a more global scope to explore the effects a democratic Spain fighting in the Allied side could have had. But, of course, this is not a Counterfactual History exercise. Strangelove has admitted several times that Rule of Cool is a driving factor in developing the history, and it shows. No Spanish Civil War has been described as Troperrific, with constant parodies, Shout Outs, references, and plenty of narrative and Alternate History tropes or cliches being averted, subverted, or shamelessly exploited. However, the story also attempts to be as much as possible in the Hard side of the Sliding Scale of Alternate History Plausibility, which causes some jarring effects. In fact, it began as a project to demolish what the author saw as several cliches about Civil War era in Spain that sprang out in every Alternate History scenario covering the era: namely, that the Civil War would happen no matter how far back in time the divergence was, that Francisco Franco would always be its leader, and that a Republican victory would have always led to a communist dictatorship. So the history diverges from our own by a seemingly minor fact that causes Francisco Franco to not be as decisive in his support for the rebels in the weeks leading to the military rebellion. This leads to the conspiracy being discovered by the Republican government and to its leaders being executed or exiled. Then lots of things happen. Like the ascent of the anarchists as a credible political force, the political suicide of both fascists and communists, or Spain entering an uneasy alliance with France. Then 1939 rolls in and Hilarity Ensues. Or rather, brutal destruction. It is not just War Porn, though: more detail than usual is given to the alternate evolution of art, literature, architecture, ideologies and societies. What could happen in a world where Capitalism and Communism win World War Two only to discover that both Fascism and Anarchism still want to be heard? Be advised, after two years since the publishing began, the story is still stuck in the spring of 1943. Real Life has interfered several times with the writing process, and updates have become more apart in time and more overdetailed. The author has stated that, since his readers are used to a certain degree of detail, he will keep it even if that means that the writing will be finished by 2020.
